Numerous famous people were born and raised in Stonybrook, including the comedian Kevin James, the actor Cliff Robertson, and New Yorker cartoonist George Booth.

Tourist and historical attractions in Stony Brook include the Long Island Museum of American Art, History, and Carriages as well as the Stony Brook Grist Mill. For lovers of historical church architecture, a stop at the St. James Chapel is a must.

Melville founded these hamlets with the idea of creating the "perfect New England village," and his work is evident even today. Stony Brook combines the idyllic nature of these past villages while offering residents all of today's modern conveniences.
